Little Saigon, <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong>, California<br />

<strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> has now officially designated a Little Saigon on Larkin Street in the<br />

Tenderloin district. Long being a major Vietnamese community (unlike <strong>San</strong> Jose with its<br />

larger ethnic Vietnamese population, the ethnic Chinese from Vietnam are especially<br />

represented in <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> as a result of self-imposed segregation from ethnic<br />

Vietnamese), and attracting Vietnamese from <strong>San</strong> Jose, a number of community activists<br />

have supported making this Tenderloin neighborhood into a Little Saigon. Soon, there<br />

will be an official entrance constructed, much in the same way as the Japantown and<br />

Chinatown in <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong>. Read more from the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> Chronicle here.<br />

Marina District, <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong>,<br />

California<br />

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br />

The Marina District is an affluent, picturesque neighborhood of <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong>,<br />

California. The area is bounded to the east by Van Ness Ave, on the west by Lyon Street<br />

and the Presidio, on the south by Lombard St. The neighborhood sits on the site of the<br />

1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, staged after the 1906 <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong><br />

earthquake to celebrate the reemergence of the world-class city. The grounds for this<br />

world's fair were created from a former lagoon on landfill. Aside from the Palace of Fine<br />

Arts (POFA), all other buildings were demolished to make a residential neighborhood.<br />

Many current residents are what the natives refer to as transplants.
